John Green calls Cara Delevingne's interview 'admirable'

Ever since Cara Delevingne's sarcastic interview on Good Morning Sacramento spread around the internet earlier this week, the model-turned-actress has been receiving messages of support for her bemused response to the hosts' basic line of questioning.

Now John Green, YA fiction leviathan and author of Paper Towns, the film which Delevingne and her cast mates are currently promoting, has weighed into the debate, calling the British star's behaviour "admirable".

Entitled "Did You Read the Book?", a nod to the condescending question asked of the actress by the anchors, Green explains that actors have to sit through hundreds of junket interviews as they promote a film.

Delevingne, who was introduced by the host as "Carla", "refuses to stick to the script": something Green applauds.

He wrote: "She refuses to indulge lazy questions and refuses to turn herself into an automaton to get through long days of junketry. I don’t find that behavior entitled or haughty.

Green also noted that while Delevingne was asked if she had read the book, her male co-star Nat Wolff was asked only when he read the book.

The author also criticised the junket process: "Look, these are obviously the first worldiest of first world problems, but the whole process of commodifying personhood to sell movie tickets is inherently dehumanising.

"The TV people want some part of you, and in exchange for it, they will put the name of your movie on TV. But in that process, you do lose something of your self.

"(For the record, I don’t get the feeling that the journalists asking the same questions over and over particularly savour the experience, either. But they need their sit-down interview, and we need our publicity, and so the wheel spins on.)"
